When did this happen?!

And it's about time too!

491 has IC 2708 and BNSF 4556 tonight. They are just finishing up at Moterm so if you hear a train on the Holly between there and Pontiac in the next hour or so, its just them.

Ok i will take the geography fail in stride

[redside20]

from Andrew Osborne ccprr yahoo group yet another G872 tonight, heading for Michigan

[GTW6401]

Got a pair of trains on the Shoreline. 385 with the CN 5523 leading is coming up to Vinewood, and Amtrak 354 is coming onto the CN. They will do the station work in Detroit and get the signal at Beaubien once 385 clears. Power on AMTK is 34 and 90218.

A little after the fact but I saw 383 on the Mt. Clemens Sub at Common Road @1435. Power was 2580 and 5648.

Power for 144 was CN 5725. They were tying onto their train at Oakwood Yard around 1800.

Also the crossing at Clay Avenue is being redone, which it desperately needed.

[GTW6401]

Train 384 - CN 5670 leading at East Yard has obtained a track authority to proceed from Nolan to Haven @0129.

[GTW6401]

Train 383 - CN 5670 leading is clear of their track authority at Nolan @ 1137.

Edit - 383 has the signal for the Shoreline at Milwaukee Junction @1310.

[GTW6401]

382 - Has a track authority from Nolan to Tappan @1353. Power is CN 2580, 5648, GTW 4912.

Around 2pm there was a train heading northbound around 15 and Groesbeck. It had a couple of CN engines and a
GT engine. The GT engine number was 2912 but I didn't catch the numbers on the CN engines.

277 is currently working the yard in Durand and will be headed for Pontiac once the work in Durand is complete

[CN_Okemos]

277 is about to leave Durand down the Holly for Pontiac now

[TwisterJay29]

Any other action on the Holly right now except for the 277 and the Amtrak that is set to leave Pontiac right about now?

[CN_Okemos]

Not that I know of. I'm in the e.lansing area. Just wanted to advise of 277 that I knew of in Durand.

[GTW6401]

Amtrak 355 just got a track authority at Moterm to head south. Amtrak 90200 and 128 today.

Also heard a NB on the Mt. Clemens Sub get an authority, I'm thinking its 144.

[TwisterJay29]

Yeah I just got back from seeing 355. You beat me to the engine identifications, lol.

[TwisterJay29]

One other thing, i saw that old guy on the bike at the 9 Mile crossing GTW.
